->Franz is another vendor that makes a Common Lisp. They call their
->Common Lisp ``Allegro Common Lisp''. It used to come for free on the
->NeXT machine. I don't think it does any more.

Nope.  I recently checked with them.  It sells for $1800, though if you're a 
student (fuzzy definition) you can get it for $900.  From talking to the sales
rep. this price is less than half of what it costs on the the Sun Sparc 
platform ($4000).  But 3-4 times the cost on a Mac (Finder, from APDA, $495).
(All prices approximate.)
